Sponsor Licence Audits and Ongoing Compliance

Hosted by Scotland’s Migration Service in partnership with Seraphus, this webinar explains how sponsor licence audits operate in practice and what ongoing compliance means for Scotland-based employers. The session outlines why sponsor licences are only indefinite where compliance duties continue to be met and what employers should expect before, during, and after a Home Office audit. Employers will gain practical guidance on reducing risk exposure and maintaining robust internal systems.
